Crock-Pot: Asian-Style Country Ribs with Black Bean Garlic Sauce

This crock-pot entrée is really, really good. It takes 10 minutes to prepare, is made from ingredients that are readily available and is a bargain when you consider the number of servings it provides. One caution - you'll havemush with Asian flavor if you cook this for more than 5 to 6 hours. The recipe is adapted from "Slow Cooker Recipes for All Occasions", a Rival Crock-Pot publication. Served with rice and snow peas you have the makings of a minor feast that you'll repeat often. My family loves this dish. I think yours will, too.This, by the way, is a wonderful recipe for novice cooks. If you have a willing teen, let them have a go at it.

Patsy, IMHO the crock-pot changes the texture of food if it is allowed to cook too long; I'm really careful about how I use it. It's a wonderful tool for busy cooks, so I work really hard to overcome the 'mush' factor.

daizo? Black Been Sauce... yummy, I've never had the chance to have it served with ribs, but then again I have not eaten ribs in an awfully long time, I really need to buy a cooker, I wonder if I can use the Rice cooker... we do when we make Kuri Rice and Bamboo... hmm

GJ, you can use daizo, but remember it has a more refined flavor than standard black bean garlic sauce. The BBGS is what gives this dish it's POW factor. Don't use your rice cooker. Instead assemble all ingredients in dutch oven and bake, covered, for 5 hours at 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Mary

I am so excited to try this! I'm on a budget and I'm trying to use up all the stuff in my cupboard--I was looking for a recipe for the Asian black bean garlic sauce I've had forever, and found this. So happy!
